I dunno if I buy that. Although I've only put body lifts on my 2 SFA trucks which doesn't require an alignment, everybody I know with a SFA truck who did a suspension lift had a pretty good toe-in...

Mine was so bad that when I turned in a parking lot would stop my truck, and if I gave it gas it would squeak the tires. Definite must

Get an alignment, use a shop that will take measurements to get the alignment correct. The stock numbers will not work since it's lifted.

After I put in my 2" level, I took it to the shop and the guy started to align the truck and his first comment was "what the hell did you do to this truck" because it was so far off. I did not tell him up front that I had installed the level kit. It took him some time but he got it done and well within specs. GET IT ALIGNED.
